The Armorial and Ordinary
The SCA's Armorial and Ordinary is a huge document that lists all of the registrations in the
SCA and other armory that we use in conflict checking. The Armorial is an alphabetic listing of
this information, the Ordinary is broken down into categories ... The Latimer Herald of the
West Kingdom has put together PDF versions of this data that you can either download or
view and search here:
Full Armorial, through June 2007A
Updates to the Armorial, from January 2004 through June 2007A
Full Ordinary, through June 2007A
